History
Avalon was first brought into commission on 01 January 2015 under the command of then-CDRE Dan Brandow, by order of BuShips. They operated out of Santa Fe, New Mexico. Eventually, the crew transferred to HMS Implacable on 20 November 2015, returning the Avalon to the Reserve Fleet. She was recommissioned on 30 September 2016 and relocated to Tenth Fleet. The ship has participated in multiple Fleet Events, such as VCon, and OryCon. When the crew transferred over to HMS Centaur, she was retrofitted by BuShips for recommission under CDR Sir Timothy Simpson and the former crew of HMS Bedivere.
